WELCOME

We want to extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, filthy rich, or dirt poor.

We extend a special welcome to fussy infants, and gray-haired veterans - skinny as a rail or could afford to lose a few pounds.

We welcome you if you can sing like an angel or couldn't carry a tune if it was strapped to you. We have them both here.

You're welcome here if you're "church shopping", just woke up, or just got out of jail. We welcome you if you're more religious than the Pope, or haven't been to a church service since Aerosmith was good.

We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome soccer moms, ESPN dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, and junk-food eaters.

We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you're having problems or you're down in the dumps. We welcome those who don't like "organized religion," or had Christianity shoved down your throats - we've been there too.

If you blew all your offering money at the racetrack, you're welcome here. We offer a special welcome to those who work too hard, work too little, or don't work at all.

We welcome those who are inked, pierced, both or neither. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, were guilted to come today by grandma, or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake.
